 Story of the Crime-InspectOr Byrnes'
 Brilliant Police Service and Methods.
 About five hundred people were at the de- pot at about o'clock yesterday afternoon when the train arrived from New York bringing Chamberlain and Taylor. AS soon as sight was caught of the New Haven off cers stampede was made to the point where they were alighting from the cars. There were Detectives Rielly and Brewer of this city and Detective Cosgrove of New York, and they had with them the two prisoners. Chief Bollman was soon visible also. The officers rushed the prisoners through the crowd, the depot police keeping passage way open, and brought them as rapidly as possible through the gentlemen's doorway to where the hacks stand. Two hacks were in waiting and into these the officers hurried the prisoners, and then the chief, the detec- tives and the prisoners were driven rapidly up State to Crown, to Church, to Court, to the door of the police building. The
 
 about as cool and calm as any one who was looking at them. When Taylor got out of the cars at the depot and got into the crowd he was jostled so that cigarette which he was smoking fell to the ground. He made grab for it as it fell and lost it, and remarked in nonchalant manner to Chamberlain, smiling as if about to pass into circus tent, "There goes my cigarette" !" His companion looked undisturbed, but when alighting from the hack at the police building and scanning the crowd that assem- bled he ran his eyes rapidly about the crowd as if half expecting to recognize some ae- quaintances and not relishing meeting them. At the police building the party were ushered at once into Chief Bollman's quarters and a secret session lasting four and half hours ensued during which time no one was allowed to enter the rooms and the doors were opened only long enough to allow some officer who had been summoned to receive message to deliver. All this time the corri- dor of the police building contained a throng of people, mostly young men of from eigh- teen to thirty-fve years of age, with here and there an older man, while also among the waiting throng were about dozen of the fair sex, their ages ranging from fifteen to wait in the hope of catching glimpse of the prisoners. At three o'clock bevy of eight or ten shop girls stood on the Tontine corner chattering and occasionally peering down the street and starting up if they saw hack approaching. They waited on the corner about half an hour and then gave it up and departed, having concluded probably that the rumor which was current that the prisoners would arrive at was false alarm. At 6 o'clock the sidewalk op- posite the police station was thronged with girls from the corset and other shops waiting to see the prisoners brought out.
 The prisoners were well and neatly dressed and had not the look of hardened criminals nor of men steeped in crime, but many re- coiled with feeling of horror at seeing them as the thought of their dark midnight crime came up. The prisoners took matters easy and even carelessly, but after the long ques- tioning they were subjected to in the police office was over looked a little tired and as if realizing somewhat that they had got into desperate situation.
 The coroner at the secret session 8 bout concluded his inquest into the cause and of the death of Mrs. Ernst by taking the testimony of the two prisoners. Ths. related about the same story, rNe,'Iulng tne York. At tho ond of the inquiry they were taken to the County jail and there committed to the safe keeping of Jailer Beardsley.
